Apology saves Rory McIlroy $20,000

Rory McIlroy has revealed some of the fascinating statistics behind his success, including how a simple apology saved him $20,000.

McIlroy hit the headlines in March for throwing his three iron into a lake at Doral during the WGC-Championship.

The PGA Tour does not reveal how much players are fined for such incidents, but McIlroy confirmed: “The fine was reduced from $25,000 to $5,000 because I said I was sorry on the TV interview afterwards.”
